But keep in mind if you get it set up, that bumps the price up to $300 (which is only $150 shy of the Big Baby Taylor).

Conclusion

Guitar buying is a unique and subjective experience.

If you have the time, go to a guitar store and play around with a ton of different guitars.

Try to only pick up guitars that are within your budget.

Don’t worry about brand name, just focus on how they feel and how they sound.

Or just get a Big Baby Taylor.

There are bound to be disagreements over this… if you have suggestions, please let me know in the comments below!
